Waking The Titanic - The Tragic Story of the Irish Emigrants | Free Documentary History 

I know very heartbreaking but interesting to learn about

If those who died knew & followed Jesus they are happy with Him as I write

😢❤❤❤

All those immigrants came to build a country. Nowadays democrat are importing people to destroy the economy. People who love to live from Welfare . Meanwhile punishing who make the county better.

What a great legacy for your family ! Certainly very proud !!!

My grandparents on my dad's side went to new York from Ireland to that's where my father was Born also

My maternal great great grandparents went from ireland to new york and my grandfather and his wife settled in wilmington nc before having their 4 children, including my mom. My paternal great great great grandparents came from england and eventually made their way to texas and my great great grandpa was at the alamo before buying up alot of land in easterly texas which is sustaining my family to this day via oil ... My paternal grandmother also has a rich legacy in texas and through her, we became part of the daughters of the republic of texas. I love that my family kept track on s0 many sides of our heritage and that we still have the land that some of them walked on and were buried. ❤

@KatieMasada thank u for sharing...my 5 brothers n I are in the process of organizing dads military records n family history...I find it fascinating! My nephews n several brothers have been there n have been able to ascertain census records from those born in Ireland...I can't wait until we are finished with our " investigation"!

Not just those people, it isn't commonly known but there were also chinese and black passengers as well although there were only 2 chinese on board and 1 middle class black man

I'm quite sure there are probably documentaries about those from other countries....this happens to be about the Irish...

Rip. God bless their families

There were only 86 Lebanese onboard, but what's interesting about them was they had the highest percentage of women and children saved. There was a total of 32 Lebanese survivors, including 15 out of 24 women and 11 out of 13 children

@@pedroguerrero3862 there were 8 Chinese passengers.

there were many reason why this happened; first and second class were closer to the deck; steward/stewardess had to wake up and pass along the message to each passenger, the upper crew had the information first; the corridors had many locked gates to keep steerage passengers from going to the first class, due to contamination reasons ( 3rd class was considered less hygenic), the ones that did find their way up to the deck were led by crew members with luck.

@@Mia-ly7os There were no gates between classes below deck.

It was also a different time period.

Twr ttt3t

The life boats were made for first and second class. The company wasn’t concerned with saving the folks in steerage.

I agree with you. People should not be taking artefacts from it or going down to see it. It is a gravesite for 1,500 who never got a proper burial, in fact a gravesite now for 1505 after that submersible sinking. May they all Rest in Peace.

I agree visit titanic but don't build submersibles and charge folk exuberant amounts of money to visit titanic such as oceangate did ...., Stockton rush mentioned he was trying to preserve Titanic's memory by documentations of the wreck site this has already been done by the French nautile ship ... All oceangate was out for was greed n profit n to hell with passenger's safety.... Stockton rush was just blowing smoke in the faces of whoever this lying fool encounters 😢

And people don't visit gravesites on land??? This is a foolish notion. I'm onboard with saying that it shouldn't be made into tourist attraction or that you shouldn't be respectful, but there are a lot of answers to be found and mysteries surrounding Titanic. To make money out of it seems wrong, but what about other wrecks. Nobody cares about the sacrilige taking place there. If you have any decorum i don't see why visiting the Titanic would be morally wrong. Just show respect. That's all. Don't make light of it and yes, perhaps leaving artifacts down there is for the better. Enough is retrieved as it is now, so..... It's only good for us to see the real human tragedy and make us realise how we need to stop complaining about our First world problems, just like some First Class passengers did, sadly.

@@carlastewart6125 us Irish and Africans were treated very cruel but our people eventually broke away from slavery and intermarried together and lived together in peace there used to be signs in Business that said no Irish no black's no dog's I understand your pain it break's my heart God bless you and our ancestors

I feel bad for my people too! only they aren’t white with colored eyes. So they get discriminated They are also trying to come here for a better life leaving everything and risking their lives.

One of her daughters looks a lot like Marilyn Monroe. The surviving stories were nice to hear.

A true legend never dies.

@@s5mphone701 Do you really think you are funny?

@@eviken1982 well im happy I can laugh about all the drama I encountered there

Not all from the same city. That’s the point of this story.

I would like to hear their story

If possible can you go to @HistoricTravels RU-vid Channel and ask him to look into your story.

@bethanycousineau197 . That is why it was called An American Wake.

Aww so tragic lovely young boys and girls from addergoole Ireland Resting in peace. 😢😢 ❤❤❤

I get the term American wake now thank you

It’s the Canavan story

You're very weclome!

They were called the Adergoole 14.

Y 9 ooh thru 68

I believe 75% of the women onboard survived due to the "women and kids" first. So these women were very unlucky.

why? Belfast is a city in the UK, this documentary is about peasants in the republic of Ireland, different people

@@ajrwilde14 There are poor Irish folks on both sides of the border, and, in 1912, all Ireland was a part of the UK.

​@@ajrwilde14 Sigh, idiot. Northern Ireland didn't exist then, all of Ireland was united.

In reality, all humans pay to die, and it's due to the fact that all humans are slaves to their governments, but most are unaware because most people are too busy to pay attention to the TYRANNY going on within our fraudulent courts/governments. We are not promised tomorrow, but we sure are promised death.

That was Frank McCourt...I don't believe it's him...

Wasn't actually Frank Mccourts voice. Someone else narrated the story. This man, Andrew Bennett.

lmao.. love it

welcome to the club youngin

I doubt it with a surname like Slavinski LOL.

@UCs24EPZ0mG-MeUzmR5RxeQQ People have mother’s.

@@JimmyFranceable right you never know. I have an English surname yet my mother is from Mexico.

Don't worry Potato Head you're in good company !! ☺️

Yes

Read about Britain and Ireland reactions. Also read about potato famine. Oh look up protestants and catholics in Ireland.

Oh please!...Back then...legal suits and arson were not "recognized" as in this century...It's " so common!"

Also to give $25 that's just over $700 in today's money. You could kida equate it to let's say for example you slipped on the floor at Walmart and had to go to the hospital and all you got from Walmart was oh we're sorry here is $700... um.. excuse me..

Pay attention!...It was also shown in another documentary/interpreted movie...Cpt Smith opted his priorities to attend 11am Catholic Mass than to conduct the "fire drill/abort ship" drill to the passengers n crew! He'd known then, "something wrong" bout to occur.

Actually it was advertised by the White Star Line as unsinkable, something they denied later in court, along with how the ship couldn't possibly have broken in half and every survivor was lying. BUT thousands of Flyers posted all around London and even distributed with certain newspapers promised the Titanic to be "a one-of-a-kind Ship of Dreams; The largest, most luxurious ship in the world, and the safest; guaranteed unsinkable." Then after it sank right away, The White Star line lead a huge smear campaign against printing presses for 'taking liberties', as if they hadn't ordered those flyers themselves. In truth, being massive and unsinkable were literally the selling points the Titanic was famous for before the ship was even completed. James Cameron actually owns some of those original flyers, and If you watch the making of Titanic the movie, they'll show you that these flyers were scattered all over the ground and pavement where passengers were boarding. It was a slogan repeated in the ship yards where the shipwrights would journal that they were building "a masterpiece that would sail forever", and there are many hand written letters to America from people who perished that have been donated to the museums saying things like they 'would soon be onboard the grandest ship in the world. It can't sink, so don't worry about me.' Local gossip over tea time called the ship 'unsinkable', so much so that the public convinced itself of this new reality the same way that the public does today with things that gain global anticipation and excitement, only to end up being a huge disappointment, like the 'most spectacular final season' of Game of Thrones. Noah Brandt worked on the Southampton docks and wrote to his sister that "Everyone says it can't be sunk. I'm eager to be joining her crew in just a few voyages." Then, after it did sink, the New York post and London papers printed that "the unsinkable has sank". So Idk how you got the impression that no one called the ship unsinkable, but many ships sank back then killing hundreds of people, but only the Titanic gained so much fame, because it was viewed as a reminder from God to stay humble and never think ourselves infallible.

People say this to add a bit of drama to the story.

​@@s5mphone701oh for crying out loud ismay himself said that about the ship many times even 2 months after it sank

Her legacy lives with every student that she taught.

You're a Yank! Drop the historical victimhood unless you have been a victim yourself. "generational trauma"....grow up Karen! I'm English and have more Irish blood in my little toe than you have in your entire body and I'm not bleating about things that happened hundreds of years ago. You might want to look a bit closer to home if you're appointing blame for abuses against native populations. Repeat after me: I am American, NOT Irish! :D

Amen

You just stole this story from the 1997 movie 😂😂

An immigrant is a person who comes to a foreign land (foreign to the immigrant), an emigrant is a person who leaves a place where he/she used to live. Now, considering that the documentary deals with Irish people leaving Ireland to emigrate to the United States (but most of them sadly don't make it) they are emigrants.
